今天的克漏字考題講的是搜尋狗，這篇文章其實比之前的簡單多囉！只要靜下心來看，大家一定都能選出正確答案的！是不是知道主題就覺得容易多了呢？來看看英銘老師怎麼解析這篇克漏字的吧！
|
|
Search dogs are trained to find missing people. Using only its
|
|
|
sense or smell, a single dog can search an area eight times faster
|
|
|
than a search team of twenty people.
|
|
|
A search begins when the dog receives the scent from an article
|
|
5
|
that the missing person has handled. The dog then sets to work
|
|
|
following the scent. Besides good scent, search dogs must be able
|
|
|
to learn quickly and be tough enough to __1__ severe weather.
|
|
|
However, dogs cannot be used in every search. First, there aren’t
|
|
|
enough search dogs to __2__. They may have to be flown to a place
|
|
10
|
for hundreds of miles away. Besides, in a very small area, search
|
|
|
dogs are not usually needed. __3__ they are flown in, a search team
|
|
|
could easily have found the missing person. Weather conditions may
|
|
|
not be right for a search dog, either. A scent is especially strong in
|
|
|
damp weather. A slight wind also helps. But strong winds or heavy
|
|
15
|
rains can cause a scent to __4__. For these reasons, dogs are used
|
|
|
in only one out of every four searches. But when they are used, they
|
|
|
prove their value. Search dogs have done some things that seemed
|
|
|
impossible.
